Alice Coltrane LP    *Payment is due in 48 hours.*

Vinyl VG+ Played very well.

Cover VG, age, handling, and seam wear.

Expect these possibilities on covers:
Ring wear, light splits, writing, spine wear, punch holes, tape jobs, cut outs, promo and or record store ink stamps, price stickers, and or price sticker residue.  An assigned grade is just my opinion, and is of course  subjective and always open for debate, so look at photos please.

The above also goes for pressing identification and label condition. (expect spindle marks) Ask questions before a purchase about anything that is not shown in the photos or description.

Expect inner paper sleeves to have record rub splits, half splits, full splits, tears or crumples. They may not be original at all. 99% of the time they won't be trashed, ask, if paper inner sleeve originality or condition is important.


**********
Payment due in 48 hours, communication of more time is important, as after 48 hours an unpaid item claim will be automatically filed. This is an automated system that I must manually stop. With communication I can wait as much as 7 days, or even longer.


My Vinyl Playing Surface Grading Guideline:
Grading is subjective, please understand VG and VG+ are playable records, but some surface noise and age wear should be expected. If any noise on the vinyl play back or previous shelf wear on the covers are a problem, you may want to consider Near Mint or Sealed reissues in stead of bargain priced vintage vinyl.

If a record I list says VG or VG+, expect it to be a good playing copy. On visual graded records, please understand that it is riskier, as I didn't test it for playback defects. Bottom line, I won't sell scratched up unplayable junk. I am a small one man operation, so I don't have a huge amount inventory, so I can pay closer attention to what I list. Check my feedback, returns are accepted, as long as you let me know inside of 14 days.

MINT:  Only a sealed record will I list with this grade. Truth is: How would you even know what the vinyl looked like, so even that might not be mint.

NEAR MINT:  Almost perfect, a sleeve scuff or two per side only. (I don't think I have ever used this Grade)

VG+:  No marks you can feel, but multiple light marks and scuffs per side some luster loss, still a very good  play copy. 

VG to VG+: This grade is that in between grade, just one or 2 marks too many for the plus grade, looks better than VG. but might cause disagreement if graded VG+, the luster will still be near the same as VG+.

VG:    Still no deep marks, but moderate marks and scuffs, much more loss of luster, very playable. You know by looking at it it will have more noise and static.

VG MINUS:    Moderate marks and moderate other marks and scuffs, some deep marks even, very little luster left, this type will be a more of a gamble.

GOOD:  Worse than VG- and I would only list one if of extreme rarity, and usually dirt cheap.


If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact me through the eBay system, I always respond as soon as I see the message.


Attention, Please Read Regarding Specific Vinyl Record Pressings or Sonic Quality of Said Pressing:
Please understand that exact pressings and years of release on current reissues may not be known for sure, so please understand that reissue just means not an original pressing, beyond that, you must do the home work yourself if it's important.

The bottom line is this, don't buy anything if you have questions that are not answered in the listing. I will not misrepresent anything knowingly, but you should NOT ever assume anything that is not specifically mentioned in the listing, that includes who did the mastering of said pressing.

Please look at photos, and come to your own conclusions about the record in question. 

Regarding Global Shipping Program, and Other Middle Men Over Seas Shippers:
After I ship to the designated U.S. Location, it is out of my hands what happens to an item,  if damage or theft  occurs, you must take it up with the shipping service that shipped out of the United States. Your item will be insured to that U.S. Facility by me however.

I will accept returns for something you are not happy with, but damaged items after they leave the U.S. are not my responsibility. They are supposed to be inspected for damage etc.. before being shipped out.

I also can not be held responsible for any shipping, customs, or other hidden charges that the eBay global shipping program, or your home country may charge you. I ship to U.S. addresses only. In other Words, I ship where eBay says to, then that place ships it to you. Insurance and whatever else is between you and them.

Under NO circumstances will I misrepresent the value on a package as to minimize your customs or whatever fees. I must insure for the paid amount, NO exceptions on this, please do not ask.  I just can't stand the worry of item's not being covered completely on my end. I would rather lose your business than worry about it. Thank You.

eBay Global Shipping Program:
(I can not send you an invoice for orders from this program)
I only ship outside the United States using the eBay Global Shipping Program, if you are from a another country, this includes Canada, you must work out the shipping charges with the third party shipping provider. Please make sure you fully understand what these charges are before you commit to buy from me. I have no idea if multiple purchase get you a discount rate or not, you must check this out for yourself.

If you send me a personal message asking for an invoice or  a better shipping rate, I will not do it, the eBay system will not allow me to, and I do not deal with customs forms, and the program likely gets a better rate for you than I would anyway, the bottom line is this: I only ship inside the U.S.,  I only ship to the U.S. location that eBay asks me to, then they ship it to you.


Combined Shipping Discounts:

Vinyl records ship Media Mail  and are $4.00 shipping for the first LP, and then .50 cents per each additional added to the original $4.00 charge. Ex: 10 records ship for $8.50.

CD's and DVDs are $3.00 shipping for the first item, then .50 cent per each additional item. I will typically ship First Class for these items, but larger lots may be shipped Media Mail.

Sports Cards are a separate conversation, they can not be shipped media Mail, and First Class is not as cheap as it used to be. Typically one card order of 200 cards or less will ship First Class, however: If multiple lots are ordered, this may cause Priority to be a must, this could  ramp the cost up a bit.

Bottom line: I don't look to profit off of shipping charges, with USPS rate hikes, and eBay fees that now factor shipping into the fee calculation, most of the time I break even or even lose money on shipping. Click my eBay username for current free shipping offers.


Make an offer:
I set my prices at the very low end of the eBay completed listing threshold. I have a 4 year proven track record of conservative grading and good packing methods, so I won't discount much less than 25% on items with make and offer. But I will discuss discounting further if you were going spend a large sum, "over $250.00" for example.
